From Amazon.co.uk

Splash was big news in 1984. It was the sole reason for a renewed Disney Studios forming its Touchstone Pictures subsidiary. This was so they could get away with displaying Daryl Hannah's nude bottom! It was also big news for launching the film career of Tom Hanks, who immediately became a massive box-office comedy draw in the 80s. For Ron Howard, it was the breakaway success that guaranteed he'd be able to pursue as diverse a directorial career path as he wanted to. It's a simple romance tale, spiced up by making the female lead a mermaid. The stroke of brilliance in the script was in making the comedy happen around the two leads, while letting them believably convey they are hopelessly lost in love. The comedy comes from the ever-reliable John Candy as a larger-than-life womanising older brother, and Eugene Levy as a scatty scientist. Although New York looks a little different today, the movie has hardly aged at all. Which is just as well since it boldly begins "This morning."

On the DVD: Splash offers a transfer that has some defects, but colours and dark areas seem just about right. We're spoiled for extras, with a warmly nostalgic Howard joining a key production crew commentary in reminiscing on how much fun they had making the movie. There's a half-hour documentary ("Making a Splash") interviewing everyone involved, including some archival footage of the late Candy. Best of all are the original Audition Tapes for Hanks and Hannah, which reveal the consummate professionals these once-hungry stars really are. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 year old LOVES this movie ... 11 Mar 2010
Format:DVD
I remember seeing this movie AT THE MOVIES - yes I'm THAT old !!

It was showing on the television one Sunday afternoon and my daughter was entranced! She kicked and screamed up a fuss when the ads came on. She just stared and stared at Daryl Hannah (ie Madison) so I thought I'd look around to see if it was on DVD. I thought I'd find in bargain bins at local department stores but to no avail. When I saw it here on Amazon.uk and at such a cheap price, I snapped it up.

I'm very happy with the price and it was delivered in next to no time at all.

Suffice to say, this movie is my daughter's obsession! She has now developed a love of all things mermaid.

And a note to any parents - this movie is perfect for young children. There are no sex scenes, no swearing, no violence. It's just a really fun movie with some sad bits and happy bits complete with a happy ending.

A lovely film that my 3 year old daughter watches again and again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPLASH [DVD] [1984] 22 Mar 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This recent consumer burn of the classic 1984 film "splash" really is great,i saw this in a 35mm cinematic theatre back in '84,and it really brings those eighties memories rolling in,and how s*** they were.Certainly if your a tom hanks fan then you should not miss out on this.Digitally re-mastered in dolby 5.1 pro-logic,it's a must for an up scale through your a,blu-ray player b,hd dvd player or c,up scaling enabled high definition multimedia interface leaded dvd player.Daryl hannah looks good,and acts out the roll very well,all in all it is a must for any film buff.

Format:DVD
A story of a mermaid, sounds so tacky. But this one has you smiling all the way through it.Brilliant casting on all characters, make this a Classic Must Have in My Collection Film. Tom Hanks as a boy falls from a boat, but doesn't drown , because a young girl watches him fascinated, and rescues him. Time passes, and she is given a chance to leave her aquatic life behind ( And her tail) to persue the boy she helped years before. Learning to talk , walk, eat properly.( Watch it!)All has comedy , and sentiment by the bucket load. John Candy has a cameo performance as Hanks's Brother.And Eugene Levy ( Ghostbusters)plays a dasterdly scientist, out for fame and recognition.To prove the existence of Mermaids. Just a feel good film, and maybe leaves us all with a smile, and a wish, that 'i wish i could swim like that, and with Daryl Hannah. Enough said. 5* i love it.

Another classic film, not the best ever but a good family film. Definitely worth having Tom Hanks films in the collection. Cheesy and far fetched but very good.
